Hello,

I am waiting on insurance. They (United Healthcare) denied me and I had to do the 6 month Physician supervised diet. I am now waiting to see if I get approved. I am wondering. I have heard that your hair gets very thin after the surgery and I have very thin hair now. Does anyone know if that is true? Also I worry about the PB as everyone refers to. If you happen to be out to eat or with people and have to excuse yourself for this PB it is hard for me to grasp this.... thanks Julie:confused2: Sounds like it is going well for you and that you are happy with the band.

Welcome, Amy! I have been here for 2-3 weeks and have discovered that I am not alone. Congrats on your AMAZING weight loss - so much so quickly - WOW! I live in the Spring/Klein area and am in process of being banded by Dr. Balette in The Woodlands.

Hi there. Your post came up when I posted mine as something similar. I'm also from Spring and waiting for approval for the lap band surgery with Dr. Wilkenfeld. I am aiming at November 7th. Any advice, thoughts, information is greatly appreciated, especially since you've been through his program. I'm going the Protein Shake portion of it now. How quickly did you lose the weight? How are you fairing today? Sorry for so many questions, I just want to have realistic expectations here. (-: I appreciate your time in responding!
